A Critical Review of Models and Theories in Field of Individual Acceptance of Technology

Information systems and technology have become essential tools for organizations to achieve their goals. Therefore, many technology acceptance theories and models have been developed in the field. Research showed a number of models that introduce the factors which make information systems successful. Based on the theoretical lens rooted in the literature, the researchers critically reviewed ten models and theories on individual acceptance of technology. The review identifies the major models to make explicit assumptions. The present study tries to provide a summary of strengths and weaknesses that have been discussed about these models and theories.
